Foods to aid digestion

In order to have good health, you need to have a healthy digestive system. There are plenty of foods that can help with digestion and greatly increase your health.

1. Senna tea - senna tea is a mild laxative and is great for cleaning out your digestive system. It should only be used occasionally.

2. Peppermint tea - peppermint tea aids digestion and can settle any stomach issues. It is a great tea to have throughout the day that provides plenty of benefits.

3. Beetroot - beetroot is well known to assist in flushing out your large intestines and is a great thing to include in your diet either in salads, but especially in juices or in smoothies at the beginning of your day on an empty stomach.

4. Lemon - lemon is also great for cleansing the digestive system. For best results have half a lemon squeezed in warm water first thing in the morning, or even have a slice of lemon in your bottle of water throughout the day.
